Im Back Baby After flooding my carbs and having beetle trauma.
Covering the stacks, woops. Choke, gasp, puke
How to de flood the sleezy method One drop in that compartment and look out. Be careful when doing this.
Short stacks and covers should work beautifully
After the choking and coughing, it was purring, while it drained the carbs to correctness |

The oil in this stinks. It has a nasty odor when fried
O wait, he was supposed to put the single port in with matching pressure plate. But. Lets be cool and put the HiPo Motor that belongs in a swing axle.
What happens when you dont pay attention. Good thing its just a minor BOO BOO

I still don't get the drip, gasket is fine. I think the red one is too thick anyway. Switch to the white one.
Look at that full flow system. Aint that cool.
Im on a mission--- and im wishin-- I can-- get this-- in drivable condition |

| Do you have the o-ring installed also? And you can’t use some permatex on the paper gasket. Also maybe take a straight edge and make sure the cover is not warped at all. |

Useless Updates
Polyed the back of the bumpers
Installed engine. Much smoother without the sticking disc Plus short stacks with air cleaners works beautiful.
